rare.

.To all whom 'it may concern:

1Be it known that I, HARRY MANEs, a' citizen of the United States,residing at Jersey City, county of Hudson, and State of l .considerablyfrom other motors of this class for a similar purpose.

-My improved motor operated fan is intended for usel more particularly'where' an electric current is not available,and also by those whocannot aord to purchase an electrically driven fan.

I will now proceed to describemy invention, the novel features of whichI will finally claim, reference being had to the accompanying drawing,forming part hereof,

wherein-M Figure l illustrates a verticalsectional view of my improveddevice, certain parts being shown in elevation Fig. 2 is a sectionalplan view thereof, the section being taken on a line a-a in Fig. 1, andFig. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view of the spring casingand brake therefor.

Referring nowv to the' drawing the numeral lwi'ndicatesthe casing of myimproved device "within which the motor parts are mounted. The powerexerting element of my `improved device comprises a clock spring 2oneend 43 of which is' secured to a casing 4, the'inn'erend 5 being securedto a rotatable shaft 6. Upon the shaft v6, and secured to the casing 4,I'loosely mount a gear 7, which is adapted to mesh with-an intermediatepinion 8, secured to a rotatable shaft 9. Upon the shaft'9, I alsosecure 'an intermediate gear 10, which-is adapted to mesh with a'pinion11 secured to a shaft 1 2. The shaft 12 carries a crown-gear 13, whichin turn meshes with a pinion 14 mounted upon the lower endof theverticalshaft .15.,

vThe shaft 15 is rotatably supported by atubular support 16, which in trn is secured `to the frame 1 by a set screw 1y 'The 'upper Aer1/d ofthe shaft 15 carries a pinion 1.8 vvh1ch meshes with a gear 19, whichinturn is carried by a shaft 20. The shaft 20 has mounted thereupon a1fan 21, the said shaft 2O being supported by Ia bracket 22, which inturn 1s carried by the tubular support 16.

As can beseen in Fig. 1 the casing 1 is secured to a table 23, which isadapted to' rotate upon a ring 24, which .is suitably supported'by abase 25.` rIhe ring-24, upon the inside thereof is provided with gearteeth 2G, with which a gear 27 is adapted to mesh. The gear 27 iscarried by a spindle 28, which at its upper end carries a loose gear 29provided with a clutch-jaw 30. Adjacent to theclutchjaw 30, and upon thespindle 28, I mount a. clutch-jaw 31, which'is longitudinally movableupon and splined to the shaft 28 as at 32.

ment with the clutch-jaw 30 I provide an operating lever 33.

To control the speed of the motor, and also to holdthe mechanism against.movement while the spring 2 is being wound up, I provide a brake shoe34 which is placed upon the casing 4'as shown in AFigs-1 and 3. Tocausethe brake shoe 34 to oppose the rotation of the casing 4, I provideat thumb screw 35. y

It is quite apparent that when the casing' 4 is caused to rotate by thereaction of the springQ, after said spring has been wound up, the fan 21will be caused to rapidly revolve through the medium of the gearingVbefore described. Should the clutches 30 and 31 be caused to engage,the gear 27 will rotate simultaneously' witlr'the crown gear 13. As thevgear 27 and gear teeth 26, vof the ring 24, are in mesh, the table 23will be caused to revolve, whereby the fan 21 will travelv in a circularpath while it is being rotated. Should I desire to keep the casing 1stationary', while the 'fan 21is being revolved, Ikeep thel clutches 30and 31 out of engagement, for instance as illustrated in Fig. 1.

To move the clutch-jaw 31 `into and out of engage- By meansof the vbrakeshoe. 34 andr setscrew 35 I am able .to control the speed of the fan.When I desire to wind the spring 2, I force the brake shoe 34 firmlyagainst the casing 4. The spring 2 is of the. ordinary clockA springvariety and is. therefore lwound up .in the same manner, a ratchet 36and pawl being provided for thecusual purpose.

Alfter having wound thelspring I.' can vhold the` operating mechanism ofthe' motora) stationary by means of the shoe'e and screw 35. Byreleasing the screw 35 the motor will operate, the speed thereof beinggoV-. erned by' the pressure of the shoe upon the casing Having nonTdescribed my invention what l claiin and desire to secure byl LettersPatent isz-s f Arinotor operated fan', comprising a rotatable casing,spring actuated gearing Within said c'aslng, a crown gear VWithin ysaidcasing adapted for operationby the spring actuated gearing, .a tablesecured to said 'casing rotatably'mounted upon a base therel ..for, aring interposed between said baseV and Y said table, gear -teeth carriedby said ring,`
